Guess you have to add yellow pill and black pill (varg) to his options now, lol. I think he’ll end up doing his own deal with the help of PC, on yam or Kawi. But, who knows?
I can only imagine after those rides overseas he is heavily considering the Fire Power / Honda Genuine team. The only thing that I think would keep him from going that route is him trying to show Honda what they lost and go with a different brand.
